Re: Seamaster Apnea
In Response To: Re: Seamaster Apnea ()

hey would anyone know, is it only retail stores which are listed the Omega site considered authorised distributors?
How about duty free shops that sells Omega's at the airports? are they considered authorised or because they are not listed on the site, hence they are considered grey market sellers? I should think that airport duty free shops should be legit Omega sellers correct?

Appreciate any comments or feedback on this.

: If this movement uses a piggyback module they normally run very

: the audemars-piguet Royal oak chronos.I have owned 2 with the
